6:41 am
but not really, you get the point. those people are all in their cars, waiting there. let's take a break at the stole plaza and if you are a casual carpool, you see them moving through and that would be you so that is a much better deal. >> we are looking at other commutes and south bay is not affected and it is a little bit slow between union and hayward. >> sal, you need three, right? >> three people. >> and we have some fog, the fog is back, a few folks over at the coast, could you send some of this. get it east, get it south or north, i tell you there is a a

6:48 am
transported 8,000 passengers but norm lay they would only have the ability to carry passengers. >> i think the longest delay was 20 minutes but overall systemwide from vallejo to san francisco we did well and we are hoping to repeat that performance today. i don't blame either side, but they had the entire weekend to get to a compromise and they need to think of the public and what we are put through and how much we are losing. >> now another issue is parking rates and keep in mind, parking is limited around the base area landings and a lot of computer parking was an issue and they are saying if you can to be picked up or dropped off at the

6:52 am
minutes to an hour just to get to the toll plaza and then you have the toll plaza back up and it is going slower than usual. this is what you might want to consider and in fact it looks pretty good and so does the dumbarton. this happily has been unaffected by this on the peninsular as well. if you can somehow reroute yourself to do your business on those freeways and they are much less crowded in the east bay freeways. news chopper 2 just on the other side of the caldecott tunnel and as you come out, you will see all kinds of slow traffic, this is what we are talking about, before you even get to the bay bridge, you have to go through the slow traffic just to get there, and coming on down the hill, there is the rock ridge station which of course is empty and there is
